2008+Acknowledgements

Dedicated to my parents, Kenneth and Lorraine Clark, my sons, Jordan and Jason Shelton, and my four-legged family, Afton, Apollo and Percy. I love you all and oh, what stories you provide! Kay Clark

My sincere gratitude is extended to my husband, Chris, who has spent three weeks wifeless, my daughters, Melanie and Liz, who have spent three weeks motherless, and to my friend Chris Hockett who joined me on this writing adventure. Also, a huge thanks to all my fellow fellows, instructors, and consultants who have taught me so much these weeks. Jo Dunlap

Thank you, Steve and Nancy, and all of the teacher consultants for a wonderful SCK Writing Project! A special thanks to my response group, Nancy, Meg, Mary and Zachary. You were great! And to my family - my husband Mike and my children, Seth, Bronwyn, and Connor - you are my inspiration. Sally Neill Bridge

To all the 2008 fellows: thank you for your amazing writing and teaching. You have truly inspired me. Mom and Dad, all my gratitude for teaching me to appreciate and enjoy the written word. Nancy Sturm

Dedicated to Mrs. Gertrude Reimer and Mrs. Debra Hill, the two teachers from my childhood in Hitchcock, South Dakota, who told me I could write. Melodie (Hofer) Harris.

I would like to thank my husband, George, for his support and encouragement. He was there to listen, brainstorm and offer suggestions, no matter what the hour. He continually reminded me that I could do it; I was a writer. Thanks also to Jo Dunlap for her friendship and encouragement throughout this writing journey. Chris Hockett

Many thanks to the 2008 fellows and coaches, to my family, and to my wife for her undying love and support - I hope I earned it. Zachary Lawrence
